File tagging File:Bongani Mawethu Mayosi.jpg edit
This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Bongani Mawethu Mayosi.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Bongani Mawethu Mayosi.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |
CoViD-19 outbreak cases in South Africa.svg edit
Re: [1]
- Removed the blue color for North West for suspected case.
- If you just want to get rid of the numbers if new cases are positive, you can replace it with the PNG map again, linked on the SVG page.

Pay attention to licensing

Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content: images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose.
File:Iarnród Éireann Irish rail train face coverings sign - January 2022.jpg seems to be free (or it would be proposed for deletion), but it was identified as having a wrong license. Usually, it is because a public domain image is tagged with a free license, or because the stated source or other information is not sufficient to prove the selected tag is correct. Please verify that you applied the correct license tag for this file. If you believe this file has the correct license, please explain why on the file discussion page.
|
The reason given by the user who added this tag is: Uploader asserts "own work". However this is clearly a photograph of someone else's work. A derivative work. Whatever the copyright or licence status of the original work, at the very least, the licence tag doesn't seem accurate.

File:HSE COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Record Card.jpg seems to be free (or it would be proposed for deletion), but it was identified as having a wrong license.

The reason given by the user who added this tag is: This is a photo of a document. A derivative work. Unless the uploader represents the HSE (the original rights-holder and publisher/printer of the original document), then "own work" is not the correct licence. Uploader keeps uploading works with this type of licencing/labelling issue.
Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2022 voting is open! edit
Read this message in your language
Dear Wikimedian,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year.
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 1 will end on UTC.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
